Default Two holes in front wing...?

Been looking for a new front wing for my jap classic saloon wrx 96 pre face lift model...spotted these on fleabay...
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SUBARU-IMPREZA...QQcmdZViewItem

is there any particular reason for the 2 holes just below the curved section of the lower wing..??
Presuming something like uk and jap spec wings are different...??? If attempting to fit one of these wings presumably would have to be fibre glassed and filled...??
Or are there also differences making these wings not suitable for my car...?

Have noticed this on replacement doors as well on Ebay, a line of holes just below the indent, the same as on the pic of the wing. Looks like its for a plastic trim / bump protector to be attached.

Looking at pics the only classic Imprezas I have seen that have this bump guard down the side are the US 2.5 RS models - so I assume all these panels are made by a US company, or at least for US cars.

Dont know if that would mean they wouldnt fit UK or Jap ones, but it seems a bit of a hassle buying a replacement panel or door, then having to fill the holes before you can get it sprayed.

shame since listed as uk company so almost presume suitability but then again hence cheap price...? Seen others listed for as little as £30. Thought these would be ok for my car.. seems not..

Cheers for the responses..
